In this day and age social media connects the world like never before. However, with this new found connectivity and the ability for people to build themselves platforms upon which to speak (just in case you didn’t know the truth – no one cares) comes the possibility to make grave errors that damage you and your employer’s reputation.
While no one supports the military like OpsLens, these particular individuals are just fools. See some of the most epic fails by military members on social media. Prepare to be disappointed in humanity…
Army PFC Tariqka Sheffey found herself in the middle of a viral frenzy back in 2014, when she made an Instagram post bragging about deliberately ducking retreat by hiding in her vehicle. This blatant disrespect resulted in her chain of command taking disciplinary action.
Also found on PFC Sheffey’s Instagram was this gem. Not overly surprising considering the post that made her infamous within the military community. Upon discovery of her disparaging remarks, Sheffey made a video acknowledging her lapse in judgement, but stopped short of apologizing. Instead, she opted to thank her supporters. #EpicFail
